Chapter 563: Qin Nie

Fang Chen couldn't see the true appearance of that ball of lightning, but he felt an endless distance separating them and a trace of the destructive power of lightning emanating from it.

That sensation was inexplicable. It was as if a bridge had been established between them.

He tried to approach the lightning, but he suddenly snapped out of that state and returned to the outside world.

Unlike before, not only was he able to sense the power of the five elements and the power of lightning, but he also saw a rare, faint green lightning energy that exuded a destructive aura.

Fang Chen's thoughts flickered. Is this the power of azure?

Whether it was or not depended on whether he could successfully execute the Azure Lightning Technique.

The black and white paper figures appeared beside Fang Chen at some point, their eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

"What exactly do you intend to do?" a Spirit Blood Sect cultivator asked with a stern voice. "You know we are disciples of the Spirit Blood Sect, yet you still interfere? Aren't you afraid of incurring terrifying karma and annihilation of body and soul!?"

The black paper figure smirked. "Karma? That's what our lineage fears the least."

The Spirit Blood Sect Foundation Building Realm cultivators looked at the two paper figures with fear creeping into their hearts.

Fang Chen suddenly chuckled. "If the Spirit Blood Sect isn't afraid of karma, then why should I be?"

In an instant, a bolt of green lightning descended from above. One Spirit Blood Sect Foundation Building Realm cultivator could only let out a scream before being blasted into dust with not a hair left intact.

That Foundation Building Realm cultivator’s cultivation base was not low, and was already at the peak stage.

The black and white paper figures exchanged glances, their faces showing a strange smile. "Lord is truly a natural-born Dao genius."

Fang Chen's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. He had just killed a peak Foundation Building Realm cultivator. It felt as though he had done it on a whim; it was effortless. What if he went all out?

Could the offensive power of the Azure Lightning Technique be as deadly as the third sword of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture when dealing with Nascent Soul cultivators?

Inside the cages, the Spirit Blood Sect cultivators trembled uncontrollably as they watched their comrades being turned to ashes by lightning.

lightning techniques, the inexplicably powerful power of metal, the elusive black and white paper figures, the Sword Transformation Technique...

"I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Wang Su's face turned pale, and the psychological defenses of the other Foundation Building Realm cultivators seemed to have crumbled as they were all eager to speak up.

That was even better.

Fang Chen set up barriers, questioning each of them individually and cross-checking their statements. Anyone attempting deceit would be caught on the spot.

From their confessions, Fang Chen learned that although Azure Dao Manor was located in a remote area, its territory far exceeded that of ordinary second-tier empires. There were countless sects and factions, with ordinary people mainly under clans formed by immortal cultivation families. For example, several cultivation families could unite to form a clan. Those clans might ally with or oppose other clans. However, all clans had to obey the authority of Azure Dao Manor’s Prefect.

Within Azure Dao Manor, apart from the Prefect, there were only three named and renowned Dao Union Realm experts. There were no Tribulation or Ascension Realm cultivators, and the scale of the sects here was far from that of immortal courts and manor.

The "lord" mentioned by the cultivators was Qin Nie of the Immortal Qin Clan, a genius who ranked among the top clans within Azure Dao Manor, with a Dao Union Realm expert backing them.

However, when it came to how Qin Nie was maneuvering this matter, the few cultivators were completely clueless.

"A single clan represents millions of people," Fang Chen said lightly, looking at them.

"Manipulating a hundred tribes to engage in discreet conflict, without being noticed afterwards as the handiwork of your Spirit Blood Sect, seems like a task too difficult for a mere Foundation Building Realm cultivator, doesn't it?"

"Lord Qin Nie is highly favored by senior figures within the sect. This is a test for him. If he passes this test, he will soar to the sky and immediately ascend to the Golden Core Realm."

Fang Chen became interested. Killing such a promising stock valued highly by the Spirit Blood Sect would surely make quite a few people in the sect furious, wouldn't it?

"We've said all we know. Can you give us a quick death?" one of the cultivators asked solemnly.

"You mentioned something wrong earlier. Obviously, you were lying," said Fang Chen, his smile widening. "You said Qin Nie was only in the early Foundation Building Realm, but they said he had long reached the grand completion stage"

Hearing that, the cultivator quickly glared at the others angrily. "You even revealed the cultivation level that Qin Nie hides... You deserve no mercy!"

In the next moment, they were all obliterated by Fang Chen's Azure Lightning Technique.

The white paper figure looked somewhat surprised. "Lord, didn't you say you would give them a chance to reincarnate?"

Fang Chen chuckled. "They don't deserve it."

Reviewing the map in his mind, Fang Chen decided to first check out the situation at the Three Thousand Dao Sect before making a trip to visit the Immortal Qin Clan.
